Crystal Hirschi and family traveled to Los Tres Brazos with a very special gift in their hands: 30 stuffed animals, which Crystal’s daughter, Victoria, and friends had made.

Upon our arrival at the center, the excited children already looked happy, eagerly awaiting their gifts. The kids had been told they would receive a gift from a sponsor, but they were not told what it would be. Seeing the luggage piqued the curiosity that can only nestle in children’s souls. As the suitcases revealed their contents, the children’s eyes lit up – their pupils smiling and shining.
